New Jersey Nets Owner Talks Move to Brooklyn, Team’s Future

    During a recent stay in the States, Russian billionaire and New Jersey Nets majority owner Mikhail Prokhorov held a press conference to discuss the team’s future and their future move to the Barclay Center in Nets co-owner Jay-Z’s hometown of Brooklyn. Prokhorov recently purchased 80% of the Nets franchise and 40% of its currently under construction Brooklyn arena. In his first press conference since the purchase, Prokhorov talked about the benefits of the upcoming move and what it will do to take the team to the next level.

     

    “What I like about Brooklyn is its absolute ethnic diversity,” said Prokhorov. “It gives a lot of energy. It gives a lot of opportunity. For me, Brooklyn is a really exciting place. And I’m looking forward to having more opportunity to speak to the people and get to know this place better.”
    Prokhorov also addressed issues about the team’s losing record. This past season, the Nets went 12-70, starting off the season 0-18 under former coach Lawrence Frank. Frank was then replaced by the team’s general manager and former New York Knick Kiki Vandeweghe, who Prokhorov said will not return as coach when his contract ends this summer. In order to improve the team, Prokhorov says he will be looking to sign a number of free agents.

    “We need to add a little bit of team spirit,” said Prokhorov. “We need to add some players because the last season, the team was short-staffed. And, we’ll add a little bit of luck, a little bit of money, and we’ll go straight to the top.”

    1. pay Lebron a 10 year billion dollar deal and then spend more money on a coach and 7 other great players and you might make the playoffs you russian dickhead

      1. yeah so at least lebron can be remembered for getting the highest salary ever
        cuz he obviously aint gonna be remembered for rings

    2. jay couldnt buy the team for us so we had one of our russian brethren buy the team… muah ahahahahahahah……

    3. Do your research jay only owns a small percentage of the nets. He is only there to sell ideas to his fellow brooklynites. It’s a win win for both but don’t let the media fool u into thinking he owns a large percentage of the nets.he’s there for PR and he don’t care cuz like the song goes ” go on and use me up”

    6. If one more nigga talk that REAL HIP-HOP SHIT I’m gonna fucking scream!!!! WHAT DOES THAT FUCKING MEAN??? What is fake hip-hop??? Niggas have different perspectives and motivations but for the most part it all represents the culture and lifestyle of black people.

      1. When people say REAL HIP-HOP its about the message they are trying to send through there music, its music that is lyrically driven and makes a point. Fake hip hop is things that you cant understand, music that has no message. yes it mite have a few punch lines in it, but that isnt anything close to real hip hop.
